Dear François, I doubt a dead SGC battery could be the origin of your problem. Try instead removing the Qubide and see what happens, the further stop to be 100% sure would be also to remove Aurora and reinstalling if needed the missing chips on the QL motherboard to see whether the original QL is OK or not
On a QL of a friend of mine with similar setup I had quite a number of similar problems due to Qubide. Best regards Davde -----Messaggio originale----- Da: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Per conto di Francois Lanciault Inviato: mercoledì 23 febbraio 2011 3.33 A: [email protected] Oggetto: [Ql-Users] Dead QL Hi QL gang, I fired up my QL this evening and it would stay on the F1/F2 screen, no matter how hard I press the F1 and F2 keys... My setup is: Aurora board SuperGoldCard QUBIDE Minerva MK1 As I said, it would not boot past the welcome screen. Not even the Minerva timeout to the default F2 works. It would not boot to harddrive, or to floppy. This only thing that produce any change on the screen is the CTR, ALT,SHIFT,TAB combination that makes the screen kind of redraw itself. I suspect that the SGC battery is dead. Does a dead SGC battery makes the system un-bootable ? What else can it be ? Thanks in advance.
